Popular Post mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted May 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2022 Failing to qualify for the CL this year may well have been a massive blessing in disguise, although it was utterly gutting at the time. We have made CL money this year on the Europa journey and now have a night that will live in our memories all of our lives ahead, regardless of the result. Tonight for me was the single greatest result in my lifetime. It beats the 2008 results, which I genuinely never thought would happen. The Dortmund game alone will literally be talked about after most of us are long in the ground! I am in absolute euphoria right now!

Likely wouldn't and even if we had finished 3rd in the group we wouldnt have had the amazing result of scudding Dortmund in their own patch in the last 16. Asked at the start of the season, would you take getting into the CL and finishing 4th, most would probably have taken it. Fuck some shitty run in the CL compared to reaching the Europa final though.

He's far more tactically flexible than Gerrard and it's been his tactics that got us here. What a fucking man. Agreed, still think Gerrard goes even if we were in the CL. Traitor was jumping at the first real offer IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been so fucking happy to be wrong. His tactical flexibility is so refreshing. 100% deserves time to do his thing. surfsup2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,390 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Great post. Re Dortmund....I said at the time that I wanted to play the kids in that game and concentrate on the league. How fuckin stupid do I feel now? I wouldn't have traded this feeling for anything. In a weird way, missing out on the league seems to be helping un in Europe. I just fucking love you, Rangers!!!

The Ibrox Derry 8,932 Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 This team are better IMO. 2008 was a pretty poor footballing side. Bad Robot 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
